    A friend removed the oil filter cannister on his 2008 RS60 Boxster and saw metallic shavings in the folds of the removed filter element, as well as in the oil that he allowed to drip into a 'catch' pan. Needless to say, his IMS had already deteriorated with his car's engine being considered 'Totaled' within two days of the oil change. He's looking at a $15,000 engine replacement on a car that had 70,000 miles on it.

      It is expensive for the US. I know other places pay much more due to things like much higher taxes (when I was younger and lived in New Zealand gas was pretty expensive there), but in the US $5.00 a gallon for gas is considered very high, when the average price right now is about $3.50 a gallon.

      Wow $9.00 is crazy expensive compared to here. Where I am regular is current about $3.25 a gallon and premium is about $3.65 a gallon. It is cheaper in some other states, but Florida is usually around the national average.

    The 718 base model is more car than anyone can use on the streets. Irrespective of the 4 cylinders. If you want to track the car, sure, there are better cars. As a daily, however, unbeatable.

    • @OurRideLife
      @OurRideLife 7 днів тому

      A base 718 could run circles around my old 911. They are good cars and one thing I forgot to point out is that they are more tunable being turbocharged. The main complaint some have is note liking the exhaust note. I think they can still sound good, but some don’t like to, so just depends on who you talk to.

    I would love to “settle” for a Cayman but in order for me to daily drive it I need back seats for the off chance I need to take the family somewhere. As for the Boxster, my design ego will never accept a convertible as attractive. 😔

      Probably because those that don’t have a large enough following do the editing themselves and it takes a while to learn how to do all of the editing. For example, it wasn’t until recently that I learned how to edit the gain better for sound to better differentiate between the voice and the background sound. Still learning as I go.

    I found most people who like manuals dont even know how to change gear properly, and going from 6th to 3rd will destroy your engine, add to the the possibility of over reving, and the manual needs a new clutch anywhere from 60-100K mils where as the PDK last the life of the car. its a no brainer.

    It's not a scam. Paul was simply unable to raise enough money to actually build the thing. One major mistake made was they wanted to design their own engine from scratch and use that, which is a very expensive thing to do. They should have used an existing engine for much less money. That would have given them more of a chance to actually build the cars, sell them, and have some profit.. In time, when cash was less of a problem, they could have designed and built their own engine.

    3 months in and my rear engine 997.2 GTS is still encouraging me to push harder as not once has the tail gotten loose and I drive her hard. Just stayed on the rear of an awd turbo for 40 miles in western N. Carolina, at the expense of overspray and scratch but man it's butt is planted and the turbo driver commented about his disbelief that every time he looked in his rear view there I was. I'll keep seeking in small increments but dang Porsche dialed in this car.
